Heymo 1 by Sokos Hotels

The property was lovely. However, everytime I tried to extend my stay, the staff couldn't help me. They either said they couldn't see availability on their side or have me prices much higher than what was listed online. Nobody offered to help when moving bags or suitcases either, and I found it a little frustrating to have to ask to have my room cleaned.

Lovely hotel with great breakfast spread, conveniently placed just a short taxi ride from Helsinki centre. Really enjoyed the free tea, coffee and hot chocolate!

Really good social areas and very helpful staff all coupled with relatively low cost.

Very convenient location to Altoo University and the metro to Helsinki

Great

good

It was an excellent hotel. Maybe a bigger vareiety in their breakfast selection

Very good concept, price vs. quality is excellent 👍

This was the third time we stayed at the hotel. Friendly and fast check-in. It was a nice surprise to see a welcome-back card with chocolate in the room. The room is small but well designed that there are plenty of places to keep the little stuff, that we appreciate very much. It was clean and the bed sheets were nicely white. Big TV and contemporary bathroom are also good. The kitchen area next to the lobby provides coffee, tea and drinking water which we also appreciate very much. We will stay again next time.

Clean and tidy, welcoming helpful staff.

The rooms were clean and very comfy, the staff was personable and attentive, and the design was very nice

Heymo 1 is very close to a Metro and tram stop, so easily accessible from the airport or the centre of Helsinki. Its facilities are modern throughout and both the bedroom and bathroom were spacious (the shower was particularly good). Breakfast is €10.45 and is well worthwhile as it is a buffet and also considering the cost of eating out in Helsinki. Overall I would stay at Heymo 1 again and would recommend it to everyone.

Nice budget hotel. we have chosen it because of the convenient location. Quite poor selection for breakfast.

First and foremost: the staff. I had the pleasure to discuss with Abdi, Sini, Eeli and George. Awesome people they are! We had the opportunity to use two different rooms: a regular two-twin-beds room and the Lucky You suite. The regular room had everything to satisfy us, even though it is a little small by North American standards. However, the decor and the furniture made it comfortable and lively. Also, the space is well used and the furniture is efficient. What can I say about the Lucky You suite? Well it’s like living in an Elinoora dream. Very surprising and cozy, because it doesn’t feel like a hotel room at all. Private sauna anyone? The rooms also had the luxurious Finnish soap and shampoo brand that is all the rage here: Lumene. Our Expedia deal included the breakfast buffet. What a great way to start your day! There is every Finnish breakfast food you can dream of, including white sliced bread and a toaster for the North Americans among us. And don’t forget that Finland is a lactose-free dreamland. The buffet food is super well presented and the eating area is quite large, well decorated and very clean. There is also a fancy coffee machine and a tea bar in the lobby that are free to use and accessible 24/7. Enough said: I will gladly return to this place every time I visit Espoo.

Great quality rooms and very friendly staff

There was no closet or a safe in the room. And they said they clean every two days, but no one showed up for cleaning for a week. I passed by the reception to ask for cleaning, they affirmed they will send someone to clean and still no one showed up until I followed up and called a third time. Also the breakfast options weren't that good. You have no clue about the items, they could have written some labels in English to make it easier. Also the windows in the rooms do not open, there's no way you can ventilate the room, and that was annoying. The walls are so thin, if anyone moved anything from the other room it could disturb you easily.

very friendly staff

Internet WiFi connection was instable. No TV channels were shown.

It was beautiful and clean, staff was friendly as well. Only issue was with their Wi-Fi. It wasn’t working aside from the first hour we were there, and it’s what their televisions run off. So absolutely no television to relax with at the end of a full day outside the hotel doors, which for us would have been just nice, especially for our 3 year old.

This concept does not work for me. No warddrobes in the room, no breakfast, no bar in the evening.
